"1980's Roland Juno-106 analog synthesizer in exceptional condition and in good working order. Recently imported directly from Japan, this synth has just been fully serviced and calibrated, fitted with an IEC power receptacle and wired for 120V. One of the most enduringly popular Roland synths of the '80s, the Juno-106 has virtually the same synth engine as its predecessor the Juno 60, yet with extensive MIDI capability and over twice the patch memory storage (128 patches).

The Juno-106 is a six-voice polyphonic and programable analog synth with one digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) per voice. The Juno-106 uses built-in Chorus to fatten up its sound to dramatic effect too. The nature of the Juno's DCO results in a sound that is stable, always in perfect tune, but still warm and analog. The Juno features an excellent 24dB/oct analog lowpass filter with plenty of resonance and self-oscillating possibilities as well as a non-resonant high pass filter. The programable pitch/mod bender can be assigned to control the DCO pitch, VCF cutoff, and LFO amount all at once or individually.

Cosmetically, this Roland synthesizer shows only light wear on the back and bottom of the enclosure, with clean and virtually unfaded key caps, all original slider caps intact, and bright graphics. This synth is straightforward, powerful, and the perfect balance of thick analog warmth and modern digital convenience."

"Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The celebrated little brother of the Prophet 5 and the first commercially available synth to feature MIDI functionality, the P600 model is an incredible value, retaining the rich tonal quality and much of the functionality of the Prophet 5.

The P600 has two oscillators per voice with sawtooth, triangle, and variable pulse waveforms. The oscillators can be individually tuned or synced together. Similar quality VCF and VCA sections from the Prophet 5 can be found here too! The P5's Poly-Mod section has also been passed onto the P600. An extremely versatile and easy to use synth, highlights of the P600 include the onboard arpeggiator, two-track sequencer and poly-modulation. The P600 is great for creating analog effects, swells and drones, and additionally boasts a glide effect and very flexible modulation possibilities.

The synth has been freshly serviced and thoroughly tested, and all functions and features work as intended. There's only very light wear on the solid wood ends framing the synth, and only a bit of additional light edge wear on the enclosure. All of the original knobs are intact too."

Kimball Challenger for that Beach House Sound


via this auction

"Here's a rare vintage keyboard/synth/drum machine/noise machine/chord arranger from the 1980s that looks as rad as it sounds! This machine will nail that Beach House sound, has a great organ and celeste preset, a flute patch that's not far off from a Mellotron, a primitive arpeggiator-type of setting for the banjo sound that is a blast to use, weird brass sounds as well some great weird synth-y tones, hilarious sound effects, great drum patterns with a fill button that adds nice variation and more. If you're looking for some serious vintage vibe to add to your studio and performances you just found it."

Did Beach House use one?

Published on Feb 20, 2020 DivKidVideo

"The tomato huffing, red fruit loving Abe of AI Synthesis invited me over to his studio space and tomato love garden while I was in the states to chat synths, his background, synth DIY and new modules. I jumped at the chance and here we are. With some footage of his current modules interpreted into the casual interview where I learnt what "mealy" means. I hope you enjoy these videos (I had a lot of fun with this one) as there's lots more to come from DivKid's West Coast Adventure!"
